οὐ μὴν ἀλλὰ τῶν μάντεων θαρρεῖν παραινούντων
πολυαρκεστάτην γὰρ οἰκίζεσθαι πόλιν ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ, καὶ παντοδαπῶν ἀνθρώπων
ἐσομένην τροφόν ἔργου κελεύσας ἔχεσθαι τοὺς ἐπιμελητάς αὐτὸς ὥρμησεν
εἰς Ἄμμωνος, ὁδὸν μακρὰν καὶ πολλὰ μὲν ἔχουσαν ἐργώδη καὶ ταλαίπωρα,
κινδύνους δὲ δύο, τὸν μὲν ἀνυδρίας, δι᾽ ἣν ἔρημός ἐστιν οὐκ ὀλίγων
ἡμερῶν, τὸν δέ, εἰ λάβρος ἐν ἄμμῳ βαθείᾳ καὶ ἀχανεῖ πορευομένοις
ἐπιπέσοι νότος, [p. 302] ὥς που καὶ πάλαι λέγεται περὶ τὸν
Καμβύσου στρατὸν, ἀναστήσας θῖνα μεγάλην καὶ κυματώσας τὸ πεδίον μυριάδας
ἀνθρώπων πέντε καταχῶσαι καὶ διαφθεῖραι.
